“There’s a lack of transportation in the rural areas, and I knew I could use my previous experience in mechanics to help,” Middleton said. Middleton, 38, is a restaurant owner and former auto mechanic who spends his spare time repairing used cars and giving them to people in need in rural South Carolina.Įliot Middleton is pictured with Alice Blake, 57, after she donated her red 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada to his car program in April of this year. She is one of 33 people Middleton has gifted with a car in the past nine months.
“He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” “I had no idea what was going on,” said Lee, 59. He just gave her the car, no strings attached. What happened next shocked her: Middleton, whom she had never met before, put the key to the Oldsmobile in her hand. On Christmas Day last year, Eliot Middleton showed up unannounced at Melanie Lee’s home in Andrews, S.C., with a white 1993 Oldsmobile.
During the past several months, he has collected nearly 100 used vehicles, 33 of which he has already refurbished and gifted to someone in need of transportation. Eliot Middleton, 38, works on a used car in the front yard of his home in McClellanville, S.C.
